Excisional Biopsy / Wide Local Excision
Complete surgical removal of a breast lump along with a small healthy margin of surrounding tissue — used to confirm the diagnosis and remove benign lumps and indeterminate biopsy results.
What is Excisional Biopsy / Wide Local Excision?
Excisional Biopsy or Wide Local Excision is the complete surgical removal of a breast lump along with a small margin of healthy surrounding tissue. It is used to definitively diagnose and treat fibroadenomas, suspicious lumps with indeterminate FNAC or core biopsy results, and selected benign lesions. The lump is removed through a small, well-placed incision designed for the best cosmetic outcome, and sent for histopathology. As a sensitive female surgeon in Hyderabad, Dr. Tejasree Vengala performs excisional breast biopsy at Lux Hospitals, Hyderabad, offering private, dignified care with excellent cosmetic results.
How the Procedure Works
Anaesthesia & Preparation
Surgery is performed under local or short general anaesthesia. The breast and underarm area are prepared in sterile fashion.
Incision Planning
A small, well-placed incision is planned along natural skin lines or around the areola for the best cosmetic outcome.
Lump Excision
The lump is gently dissected from surrounding breast tissue and removed completely with a small healthy margin.
Haemostasis & Tissue Closure
Bleeding is carefully controlled. The breast tissue is reshaped to maintain natural contour, and deep layers are closed with absorbable sutures.
Skin Closure & Discharge
The skin is closed with fine absorbable sutures and skin glue. Most patients go home the same day with minimal discomfort.
